sILENc1NG THE DIRECTOR.

So Many Unknown Members Follow Holman's
Lead that the Director Ceases to Object.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-sI object" were the
words family uttered in the House the other
day during an uproar growing out Of demands
for the consideration of bills
WHO objects?' exclaimed an old member,
turning himself nervously about and looking
over the entire floor, as if to challenge the one
who had spoken.
II object" repeated the voice. and instantly
little member from middle State district arose
to his full length and looked hard over toward
the one who had demanded the source of the i'm
pediment.
Scarcely a day passes in the House of Repre-
sentatives when this scene is not repeated, and
on some days 1t is presented twenty times The
member who objected was quickly approached
by the one who wanted consideration of the
measure. and when asked if he knew what was
to be taken up, aud what he objected to, he re-
piled in the negative. Then he was informed
that it was one Of his own bills and that he was
more interested in its success than any member
on the floor. Quickly he sprang to his feet, but
it was too late Another member had obtained
the floor, another measure was being considered.
apd the bill which had been objected to by its
author went over never to be taken up
There are forty members in the House who
have no distinguishing traits Of character, and
no influence except in the exercise of their little
II object" They have very little ability to do
anything, and those who look upon them daily
and study them. wonder why they we're ever sent
here. They have no means Of lmpressing upon
anyone the fact that they have a voice on the
| floor Of the House and in committee, except in
| impeding work. It is not one time in ten that
these members object intelligently to the consid

| gust at the exercise of this one man power in the
| reckless manner in which it is so frequently ex-
| ercised that the next House, if it retains the
| sentiment of the present one, will undoubtedly
| SO amend the rules to require at least two
objections to defeat consideration Of anything at
any time. This will undoubtedly put stop to
| foolhardiness, as it is remarkable coincidence
| when two of these do-nothings agree to exercise
! this function.
! It is fact, which has ELECTED many comments
| Of late. that the indiscriminate objections to
meritorious measures has put a check upon the

Holman, Of Indiana. He has not objected half

ones. For awhile ne thought it was retaliation,

MURDER AT ST. LOUIS.
A Druggist and His Clerk Under Arrest,
Charged with the Killing of Nina Brooks.

ST. Louis, Feb. 26-Nina Brooks's dead body
is lying in a rear room of a small drug store at
the corner of Tenth street and Cass avenue in
this city. The fact Of her death was not re-
ported to the coroner until this afternoon, and
no official inquiry has been made concerning the
cause of death.
The following facts, however, have been
learned: Yesterday afternoon the clerk of
the drug store of which Henry Dauber is pro-
prieter heard pistol shot in the rear room,
and moment later Mr.. Dauber rushed into
the store, crying, 'She has killed herself. she
has killed herself" In his right hand was
grasped smoking revolver, and his manner
was greatly excited. The clerk seized the
revolver and took it away from Mr.. Dauber, for
fear he might do himself some harm, and then
summoned q physician, who, upon making an
examination of the woman, pronounced her
dead. She had been shot in the mouth, and the
bullet had scattered blood and brains over the
walls and bed upon which she was lying A
few minutes later friend of Mr.. Dauber's came
to the store and, after conversing with him q
minute, they left the store together. Mr.
Dauoer and the clerk were arrested today the
former on warrant charging him with the
murder of Nina Brooks aud the latter With be-
ing an accessory. Nina Brooks was e woman OF
ill-repute, and formerly lived at Washington,
Ind.
Henry Dauber was seen by a reporter this
| afternoon at police station, where he was
taken after being arrested He said that
| Nina Brooks was in love with him, and
| came to ST. Louis from Washington. Ind, to be
/ with him. On Thursday afternoon she had
| come to his drug store and insisted upon living
there with him. He objected, he said, and told
her she must leave. He intended to buy her a
railroad ticket to Washington and send her
| home Yesterday morning he informed her OF
his intention. whereupon she seized his revolver
placed the nuzzle in her mouth and pulled the
| trigger, killing herself almost instantly. Nina
| Brooks had been an inmate of house of disre
pute for some time. Last Saturday evening, while
| there, she said she intended to kill herself and
| Dauber. but it was not thought that she was ir
| earnest In view of the inconsistencies o.
Dauber's account of the affair he aud his clerk
| Peters, were held to await the action of tn,
| corOner'a Jury.

Germany's Attitude Toward Russia

IOWHru
BERLIN, Feb. 26.-The North German Gazette
denies the statement made by the Temps. of
Paris, that Bismarck, in 1879, declared that
Gortschakoff should never be permitted to take
the Balkan states for Russia. The Gazette as.
serts with emphasis that Germany has no inter
est IN the East and will not meddle in any quar-
rel which may arise there In conclusion, the
paper says: 1T is impossible that Bismarck
has ever said anything which would warrant
the inference that Germany would dispute with
Russia her claim to the Balkans

mauded that the steam railroads which cross the

LABOR MATTERS.
Five Thousand Idle Employees at Paterson
The Effect on the City's Business.

Five Thousand Idle Employees at Paterson
The Effect on the City's Business.
New YORK, Feb. 26.-There are now more
than 5000 silk operatives out of work at Pater-
son, N J. The trouble started with the strike
of 1900 of the dyers because their employers
would not agree to a new schedule Of wages and
conditions The first of the conditions was, in
effect, that no one should be employed but
Knights Of Labor and members of the dyers'
union, and that all employers should de-
duct from the wages of the
hands their union dues and assessments. The
employers said they could not do this 1t was a
question of the control of their business, and if
it had to be settled it best to settle it now as
the spring and summer stock had been manufact-
ured, and they could afford to shut down several
months if necessary. The dyers may be said to
begin the work of silk manufacture. Hence
their strike soon began to affect the other
workers. No more warps were given out, and
the looms wera empty the weavers
began to be laid off. After that the spinners
and the workmen in ether departments were
laid off, until now the number out is about one
third Of all in the business in the city If the
strike keeps up two weeks longer the remaining
ten thousand workers will be idle. In one way
and another, it is q loss of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the city. Commercial bust
ness is greatly affected. A committee of dyers
will meet the manufacturers committee to-day
and submit proposition for adjustment of
the grievances. 1t is thought that if the dyers
refrain from pressing the Knights of Labor
demand they will have no difficulty in getting
the wage question settled to their satisfaction.
